Author Guidelines

ASAP/J welcomes born-digital content such as brief interviews, reviews, essays, working papers, and photographic, audio, and video works, among other forms. If you would like to contribute a feature to ASAP/J—typically 2,000 to 4,000 words for an essay—please send a brief pitch of 200 to 300 words to asapjeditors@gmail.com. You’re also welcome to pitch ideas for edited clusters on topics of special interest. You would be the primary editor for such a cluster, with support from ASAP/J‘s editor, Abram Foley. If you would like to pitch an edited cluster, please include the names of your potential collaborators.

ASAP/J publishes single-book reviews as well as review essays on several recent titles. Single-book reviews should be 1,000 to 1,500 words in length; review essays should not exceed 4,000 words. While we primarily review academic titles, we are also eager to publish review essays on clusters of books of fiction, poetry, essays, arts writing, etc. Michael Dowdy’s essay on “Poetry from a Year of Precarity” is a good example of this genre. We do not publish single-book reviews of fiction, poetry, memoir, etc.

ASAP/J also publishes reviews of art exhibitions, film festivals, symposia, and other authored or curated content.

Please contact Molly Warnock and Alexandra Kingston-Reese at asapjeditors@gmail.com to inquire about reviewing a book, exhibition, or other event. In your email, please include a brief bio, including prior publications, and let us know why you would like to review this particular subject.
